WATER VAPOR: A BY-PRODUCT OF UNVENTED ROOM HEATERS
Water vapor is a by-product of gas combustion. An unvented room heater produces approximately one(1) ounce
(30ml) of water for every 1,000 BTUs(.3KWs)of gas input per hour.
Unvented room heaters are recommended as supplemental heater(a room). Rather than a primary heat source
(an entire house). In most supplemental heat applications, the water vapor does not creat a problem. In most
applications,the water vapor enhances the low humidity atmosphere experienced during cold weather.The following
steps will help insure that water vapor does not become a problem.
1.Be sure the heater is a sized properly for the application, including ample combustion air and circulation air.
2.If high humidity is experienced,dehumidifier may be used to help lower the water vapor content of the air.
3.Do not use an unvented room heater as the primary heat source.
lnstall and use heater with care.
Follow all local codes. In the
absence of local codes, use the
latest edition of The National Fuel
Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1, also known
as NFPA 54*.

AIR FOR COMBUSTION AND VENTILATION
WARNING: This heater
shall not be installed in a confined
space or unusually tight construc-
tion unless provisions are provided
for adequate combustion and ven-
tilation air. Read the following in-
structions to insure proper fresh
air for this andother fuel-burning
appliances in your home.
PROVIDING ADEQUATE
VENTILATION
The following are excerpts from
National Fuel Gas Code, NFPA 54/
ANSI Z223.1,Section 5.3, Air for
Combustion and Ventilation.
All spaces in homes fall into one of
the three following ventilation
classifications:
1. Unusually Tight Construction
2. Unconfined Space
3. Confined Space
The information on pages 5 through 6
will help you classify your space and
provide adequate ventilation.
Confined and Unconfined Space
The National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI
Z223.1 defines a confined space as a
space whose volume is less than 50
cubic feet per 1,000 Btu per hour (4.8
m
3
per kw) of the aggregate input
rating of all appliances installed in that
space and an unconfining space as a
space whose volume is not less
than 50 cubic feet per 1,000 Btu per
hour (4.8 m
3
per kw) of the aggregate
input rating of all appliances installed
in that space. Rooms communicat-
ing directly with the space in which
the appliances are installed*, through
openings not furnished with doors,
are considered a part of the
unconfined space.
This heater shall not be installed in
a confined space or unusually tight
construction unless provisions are
provided for adequate combustion
and ventilation air.
* Adjoining rooms are communicat-
ing only if there are doorless pas-
sageways or ventilation grills be-
tween them.
Unusually Tight Construction
DETERMINING FRESH-AIR FLOW FOR HEATER LOCATION
Determining if You Have a Confined or Unconfined Space
Use this worksheet to determine if you have a confined or unconfined space.
Space: Includes the room in which you will install heater plus any adjoining rooms with doorless passageways
or ventilation grills between the rooms.
1. Determine the volume of the space (length
×
width
×
height).
Length
×
Width
×
Height= cu.ft. (volume of space)
Example: Space size 20ft. (length)
×
16ft.(width)
×
8ft. (ceiling height)=2560cu. ft. (volume of space)
If additional ventilation to adjoining room is supplied with grills or openings, add the volume of these
rooms to the total volume of the space.
2. Divide the space volume by 50 cubic feet to determine the maximum Btu/Hr the space can support.
(volume of space)÷50 cu. ft.=(Maximum Btu/Hr the space can support)
Example: 2560 cu. ft. (volume of space)÷50 cu.ft.=51.2 or 51,200(maximum Btu/Hr the space can support)
The air that leaks around doors and
windows may provide enough fresh
air for combustion and ventilation.
However, in buildings of unusually
tight construction, you must provide
additional fresh air.
Unusually tight construction is
defined as construction where:
a) walls and ceilings exposed to the
outside atmosphere have a
continuous water vapor retarder
with a rating of one perm (6×10
-11
kg
per pa-sec-m
2
) or less with
openings gasketed or sealed and
b) weather stripping has been added
on windows that can be opened
and doors and
c) caulking or sealants are applied
to areas such as joints around
window and door frames, between
sole plates and floors, between
wall-ceiling joints, between wall
panels, at penetrations for
plumbing, electrical, and gas
lines, and at other openings.
If your home meets all of the three
criteria above, you must provide
additional fresh air. See Ventilation Air
From Outdoors (page 6).
If your home does not meet all of the
three criteria above, proceed to
Determining Fresh-Air Flow For
Heater Location (below).

WARNING: Rework worksheet, adding
the space of the adjoining unconfined
space. The combined spaces must have
enough fresh air to supply all appliances in
both spaces.
If the actual Btu/Hr used is less than the maximum Btu/Hr the space can support, the space is an
unconfined space. You will need no additional fresh air ventilation.
3. Add the Btu/Hr of all fuel burning appliances in the space.
Vent-free heater Btu/Hr
Gas water heater* Btu/Hr
Gas furnace Btu/Hr
Vented gas heater Btu/Hr
Gas heater logs Btu/Hr
Other gas appliances* + Btu/Hr
Total = Btu/Hr
*Do not include direct-vent gas appliances. Direct-vent draws combustion air from the outdoors and
vents to the outdoors.
4. Compare the maximum Btu/Hr the space can support with the actual amount of Btu/Hr used.
Btu/Hr (maximum the space can support)
Btu/Hr (actual amount of Btu/Hr used)
Example : 51,200 Btu/Hr(maximum the space can support)
56,000 Btu/Hr(actual amount of Btu/Hr used)
The space in the above example is a confined space because the actual Btu/Hr used is more than the
maximum Btu/Hr the space can support.
You must provide additional fresh air. Your options are as follows:
A. Rework worksheet, adding the space of an adjoining room. If the extra space provides an unconfined
space, remove door to adjoining room or add ventilation grills between rooms. See Ventilation Air From
Inside Building (below).
B. Vent room directly to the outdoors. See Ventilation Air From Outdoors (below).
C. Install a lower Btu/Hr heater, if lower Btu/Hr size makes room unconfined.
Figure 2 -Ventilation Air from Inside Building
Example:
Gas water heater 30,000 Btu/Hr
Vent-free heater + 26,000 Btu/Hr
Total = 56,000 Btu/Hr
This fresh air would come from an adjoining uncon-
fined space. When ventilating to an adjoining uncon-
fined space, you must provide two permanent openings:
one within 12" of the ceiling and one within 12" of the
floor on the wall connecting the two spaces (see
options 1 and 2, Figure 2). You can also remove door
into adjoining room (see option 3, Figure 2). Follow the
National Fuel Gas Code. NFPA 54/ANSI Z223.1, Sec-
tion 5.3, Air for Combustion and Ventilation for re-
quired size of ventilation grills or ducts.
Ventilation Air From lnside Building
Ventilation Air From Outdoors
Provide extra fresh air by using ventilation grills or ducts.
You must provide two permanent openings: one within
12" of the ceiling and one within 12" of the floor. Connect
these items directly to the outdoors or spaces open to
the outdoors. These spaces include attics and crawl
spaces. Follow the National Fuel Gas Code, NFPA 54/
ANSI Z223.1, Section 5.3, Air for Combustion and Ven-
tilation for required size of ventilation grills or ducts.
IMPORTANT: Do not provide openings for inlet or outlet
air into attic if attic has a thermostat-controlled power
vent. Heated air entering the attic will activate the power
vent.
Figure 3 -Ventilation Air from Outdoors

WARNING: If the area in which the heater may be operated is smaller than that defined as an unconfined space
or if the building is of unusually tight construction, provide adequate combustion and ventilation air by one of the
methods described in the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54, Air for Combustion and Ventilation,
or applicable local codes.

warm air currents. These currents
move heat to wall surfaces next to
heater. Installing heater next to vinyl
or cloth wall coverings or operating
heater where impurities (such as
tobacco smoke, aromatic candles,
cleaning fluids, oil or kerosene
lamps, etc.) in the air exist, may
discolor walls.
IMPORTANT: Vent-free heaters add
moisture to the air. Although this is
beneficial, installing heater in rooms
without enough ventilation air may
cause mildew to form from too much
moisture. See Air for Combustion and
Ventilation, pages 5 through 6.

CONNECTING TO GAS
SUPPLY
WARNING: A qualified techni-
cian must connect heater to gas
supply. Follow all local codes.
CAUTION: Never connect heater
directly to the gas supply. This heater
requires an external regulator (not
supplied). lnstall the external regu-
lator between the heater and gas
supply.
INSTALLATION ITEMS NEEDED
Before installing heater, make sure
you have the items listed below.
l piping (check local codes)
l sealant (resistant to propane/LP
gas)
l equipment shutoff valve*
l test gauge connection**
l sediment trap
l tee joint
l pipe wrench
l Flexible Gas hose(check local code)
* A CSA design-certified equipment
shutoff valve with 1/8" NPT tap is an
acceptable alternative to test gauge
connection. Purchase the optional CSA
design-certified equipment shutoff
valve from your dealer. See
Accessories.
Figure 5 -Gas Regulator Location
and Gas Line Access Into Stove
Cabinet
Figure 6 -External Regulator With
Vent Pointing Down
Figure 7 -Gas Connection
The installer must supply an external
regulator. The external regulator will
reduce incoming gas pressure. You
must reduce incoming gas pressure
to between 11 and 14 inches of water.
If you do not reduce incoming gas
pressure, heater regulator damage
could occur. lnstall external regulator
with the vent pointing down as shown
in Figure 6. Pointing the vent down
protects it from freezing rain or sleet.
* Purchase the optional CSA design-certified equipment shutoff valve
from your dealer. See Accessories.
** Minimum inlet pressure for purpose of input adjustment.

WARNING: Never connect
heater to private (non-utility) gas
wells. This gas is commonly known
as wellhead gas.
CAUTION: Only use a new black
iron or steel pipe. Internally-tinned
copper tubing may be used in
certain areas. Check you local
codes. Use pipe of 1/2" diameter or
greater to allow proper volume gas
to heater. If pipe is too small, undue
loss of pressure will occur.
Installation must include an equip-
ment shutoff valve, union, and
plugged 1/8" NPT tap. Locate NPT
tap within reach for test gauge hook
up. NPT tap must be upstream
from heater (see Figure 7).
IMPORTANT: Install equipment
shutoff valve in an accessible location.
The equipment shutoff valve is for
turning on or shutting off the gas to
the appliance. Apply pipe joint sealant
lightly to male threads.This will pre-
vent excess sealant from going into
pipe. Excess sealant in pipe could
result in clogged heater valves.
CAUTION: Use pipe joint seal-
ant that is resistant to gas
(PROPANE or NG).
We recommend that you install a
sediment trap in a supply line as
shown in Figure 7. Locate sediment
trap where it is within reach for cleaning.
Install in the piping system between
fuel supply and heater. Locate sedi-
ment trap where trapped matter is not
likely to freeze. A sediment trap traps
moisture and contaminants. This
keeps them from going into heater
controls. If sediment trap is not in-
stalled or is installed incorrectly,
heater may not run properly.
CAUTION: Avoid damage to
regulator. Hold gas regulator with
wrench when connecting into gas
piping and/or fittings.

you keep the burner tube and pilot as-
sembly clean and free of dust and
dirt. To clean these parts we recom-
mend using compressed air no greater
than 30 PSI. You can use a vacuum
cleaner in the blow position. If using
compressed air in a can, please fol-
low the directions on the can. If you don't
follow directions on the can, you could

l Use a vacuum cleaner or
pressurized air to clean.
MAIN BURNER
Periodically inspect all burner flame
holes with the heater running. All
slotted burner flame holes should
be open with yellow flame present. All
round burner flame holes should be
open with a small blue flame
present. Some burner flame holes
may become blocked by debris or
rust, with no flame present. If so,
turn off heater and let cool. Either
remove blockage or replace burner.
Blocked burner flame holes will
create soot.
1. Shut off the unit, including the
pilot. Allow the unit to cool for at
least thirty minutes.
2. Inspect burner, pilot and primary air
inlet holes on injector holder for
dust and dirt (see figure 21).
3. Blow air through the ports/slots
and holes in the burner.
4. Check the injector holder located
at the end of the burner tube
again. Remove any large particles
of dust, dirt, lint, or pet hair with a
soft cloth or vacuum cleaner
nozzle.
5. Blow air into the primary air holes
on the injector holder.
6. In case any large clumps of dust
have now been pushed into the
burner, repeat steps 3 and 4.

l Use a soft cloth dampened with a
mild soap and water mixture. Wipe
the cabinet to remove dust.
LOGS
l If you remove logs for cleaning,
refer to Installing Logs (page 10)
to properly replace logs.
l Replace logs if broken or chipped
(dime-sized or larger).
Clean the pilot assembly also. A
yellow tip on the pilot flame
indicates dust and dirt in the pilot
assembly. There is a small pilot air
inlet hole about two inches from
where the pilot flame comes out of
the pilot assembly (see Figure 22).
With the unit off, lightly blow air
through the air inlet hole. You may
blow through a drinking straw if
compressed air is not vailable.
